Hi, I need to hit my character with a limo I feel like that sounds really concerning but it’s an important part of my story. What is wrong with this? I can’t get the limo to show up Overlays are complicated! Thanks in advance! - WC

Can you post your dressing game code

[Dara.Amarie]

You need to add the overlay to the scene first. Add it to the background name or use the create command: A Guide to Using & Animating OVERLAYS

Hi Dara so I was proofread my episode story on my phone and on the ‘How to use gem choices’ it says the first choice with gems is always free. But on my phone the first gem choice isn’t free.

[Dara.Amarie]

Taken from the Guides:

UPDATE: If you are an author and are testing your gem choices in the app it will deduct gems. If this happens to you, please contact support so we can help you. We are working on fixing this asap. In the meantime we recommend that you test your gem choices in Web Previewer.

Am I doing it wrong? I had it in the original script I sent you. It’s very bizzare.

You need the opacity.

A Guide to Using & Animating OVERLAYS

2. The create overlay command
This is used when you want to add an overlay in the middle of the scene.

NOTE: To use this command you have to add in the shift, scales, and opacity commands to make the overlay appear in your scene. You can learn about shifts, scales, and opacity down below.

@overlay OVERLAYNAME create
@overlay OVERLAYNAME shifts to x y in zone # in 0
@overlay OVERLAYNAME scales to % % in 0
@overlay OVERLAYNAME opacity 1 in 0

[xoweslyn]

@overlay OVERLAYNAME opacity 1 in 0

OMG thank you!!! You’re a lifesaver!

Ok so recently I changed the choice bubble colors to Premium instead of just Green and it said "Invalid command: PREMIUM “Change hair style” {goto hair6} "

[amberh.episode]

You forgot the > on line 6022

[Theylovedrea]

Thank you

[amberh.episode]

No problem!

Also since I have boy characters being customized as well, I put up customization templates for them as well but everytime i preview the story and click on one of the male characters it kicks me out of the story or does this

[Dara.Amarie]

Since you added more, did you create those labels for the “goto’s”?
